Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sensor device and a method for detecting an anomaly in a fluid technology system according to the preamble of claims 1 and 15, respectively.
  • Compressed air is an important and at the same time expensive energy source. It is therefore important to detect anomalies in a compressed air system as quickly as possible in order to effectively limit energy consumption and operating costs.
  • DIN EN ISO 11011:2015-08 provides a basis for the procedure and documentation when assessing the energy efficiency of compressed air systems.
  • the DE 20 2019 210 600 B4 discloses a diagnostic device that monitors a valve arrangement provided for the pressure control of a pressure chamber.
  • the pressure control ensures that a pressure setpoint is reached or maintained.
  • a pressure fluid leakage is concluded from the pressure control control signal. This means that the diagnosis is linked to the pressure control, so to speak. It is not described how the pressure control obtains the required pressure control control signal, and in any case the disadvantages of pressure-based anomaly detection are not overcome.
  • Another approach that can be used to localize leaks in compressed air systems is based on the measurement of ultrasound caused by the escape of gases. This requires special measurement techniques that detect such ultrasound and make it audible to the human ear. Just like pressure change methods, such ultrasonic measurements are complex and time-consuming. Professional leak detection using ultrasound technology only makes sense from an economic perspective if it is known in advance that there are leaks in the system. Even ultrasound does not detect abnormalities other than leaks.
  • the state of the art also uses artificial intelligence methods to evaluate sensor data in order to detect anomalies in a compressed air system. For example, a neural network learns the connection between control signals of the compressed air actuators and the associated mass flow from known data in order to then predict the expected flow rate for future process operations after training has been completed. If the discrepancy between the measured and predicted mass flow is too large, a leak is concluded. This works quite well in a specific compressed air system, but generalization to any system is difficult and requires individual training for the individual system usually too complicated. In addition, there is often a lack of extensive technical infrastructure on site with sufficient computing power and memory, because the sensors themselves typically do not have the hardware that inferences or even the training of neural networks would require.
  • the DE 10 2010 043 482 A1 discloses leak detection in a supply network, in which a time series of respective minimum inflows into an area is determined. If the minimum inflow lies outside a confidence range determined without leakage, a leakage is assumed and, for example, an alarm is triggered.
  • the US 2001/0003286 A1 deals with a control device to prevent flooding.
  • the flow is interrupted if it continues for a certain period of time. Alternatively, wait for a moment when nothing is flowing and then measure the cumulative amount from that point on, which must not become too high.
  • Fluid technology summarizes the various methods of transmitting energy using fluids, in particular pneumatic or compressed air systems, where any gas can be used, and also hydraulic systems with a hydraulic fluid instead of air. Anomalies include leaks, but also other undesirable conditions of the monitored system, such as clogged filters, kinked hoses and the like.
  • At least one sensor determines a measured value for the current flow rate in a line of the system.
  • the actual measured value can differ from a flow rate, but can be converted into a flow rate if this has not already been measured directly becomes.
  • a control and evaluation unit uses at least one such measured value to determine whether there is an anomaly in the system.
  • the control and evaluation unit can be part of the sensor or connected to it, for example as a programmable logic controller, edge device, cloud or other computing device, or can be implemented distributed across the sensor and connected devices.
  • the invention is based on the basic idea of collecting a time series of measured values and comparing them with an expectation when the system is intact and without anomalies.
  • the time series preferably forms an immediate history of all the most recent measured values, which ends with the current measured value, but thinned out time series and/or the inclusion of at least somewhat longer-ago measured values is also conceivable.
  • a period length is determined from the time series because it is assumed that the system is used cyclically in operation because processing and production cycles repeat themselves in practice.
  • a single period or a large number of such periods are then evaluated by considering a section of the period duration from the time series or several such sections. For this purpose, one or more parameters are determined, which in particular reflect statistical characteristics of the respective period. This at least one parameter is compared with a respective associated reference parameter, i.e. an expectation of the parameter when the system is in an intact state without anomalies. If this does not match within a tolerance, an anomaly is assumed.
  • the tolerance is preferably determined individually for each parameter, as described below in various embodiments, but can alternatively also be specified as an absolute or relative deviation.
  • a detected anomaly is preferably reported, for example as a signal to a higher-level system control, own display, warning and/or maintenance request.
  • the invention has the advantage that anomalies are reliably detected across the entire system. Small leaks that are only effective over a short period of time are also detected. In conventional evaluations with threshold values, this often goes undetected because a global quantity such as an average or maximum mass flow is hardly significantly influenced. In addition to leaks, other anomalies are also recorded that also affect the energy efficiency and functionality of the system but are not recorded in the prior art. Such anomalies could also affect the quality of the end product, so that the invention also contributes to quality assurance. Thanks to the independent determination of the periodicity, no information needs to be communicated about the manufacturing process supported by the system, so that a deeper integration of the sensor into a system control system is not necessary. By dispensing with artificial intelligence methods, the hardware requirements also remain very low.
  • the control and evaluation unit is preferably designed to determine a statistical parameter of the distribution of flow velocities over the period.
  • a statistical parameter has the advantage that small transient deviations caused by measurement inaccuracies and the like only have a minor effect on it. By statistically evaluating the distribution of flow velocities, even greater robustness is achieved because different temporal sequences are not important.
  • An analysis of the frequency of occurrence of the measured values within a period decouples the measured values from time. This means that no time stamps for the measured values are required.
  • the reference parameter must be chosen appropriately, here also a statistical parameter of the distribution of flow velocities of the intact system. Also as in all embodiments, exactly one period or multiple periods can be evaluated.
  • the control and evaluation unit is preferably designed to form a histogram of the flow velocities over the period, with at least one parameter being determined from the number in a bin of the histogram.
  • the histogram is a discretization of the distribution of the measured flow velocities and is therefore particularly easy to use.
  • the number in one of the bins of the histogram can be used as a parameter; preferably several such parameters are determined for several or all bins.
  • the reference parameter is preferably determined analogously, namely from a histogram that is recorded with an intact system without anomalies.
  • the control and evaluation unit is preferably designed to determine the cumulative difference between the measured values of the time series and a reference time series. This evaluation can also be carried out over exactly one period or over several periods.
  • the reference time series corresponds to measured values of the intact system without anomalies. In this embodiment, each measured value is itself a parameter, while the reference time series provides the associated reference parameters. The number of parameters can be reduced by reducing the resolution of the time series as described later.
  • the point-by-point differences between the time series of measured values and the reference time series can also be understood as a difference area between a measurement curve and a reference measurement curve over a period or over several averaged periods. Mathematically, it corresponds to the integral of the amount of the difference between the measurement curve and the reference measurement curve.
  • the control and evaluation unit is preferably designed to record and evaluate the time series of measured values during operation of the system.
  • the anomaly detection takes place online or during regular operation; it is not necessary to switch off or pause the system. This is different from many of the prior art methods described in the introduction, in which anomalies can only be detected when the system is at a standstill or in which a special state must be set, for example with regard to the pressure in the system.
  • the control and evaluation unit is preferably designed to determine the period length by calculating an autocorrelation, Fourier transform or absolute differences in the time series. Peaks corresponding to the periodicity appear in the autocorrelation or in the associated spectrum of the time series.
  • Such methods for determining the period length of a time series are known per se, but have not yet been used to detect anomalies in a fluid power system.
  • a preferred embodiment of the determination of the autocorrelation is the formation of cumulative amounts of the differences in the time series shifted against itself, the interval of the shift being increased iteratively. If you now plot the sum of the amount differences over the shifts, you get extreme points in the period length and its multiples. In the conventional methods as described in the introduction, the period length would not be of interest.
  • the control and evaluation unit is preferably designed to recognize and correct a mutual time offset between sections of the period duration. Although the individual work cycles in the system generally have the same period length, smaller time shifts can always occur. Such fluctuations or phase shifts between periods could distort the detection of anomalies and therefore it is advantageous to use the temporal offset to balance.
  • the sections to be evaluated are then aligned with one another in such a way that the courses lie on top of one another as similarly as possible. This can be achieved, for example, by calculating pairwise correlations of the sections.
  • the control and evaluation unit is preferably designed to convert the time series of measured values into a time series with a lower temporal resolution. After such a reduction in resolution (“downsampling”), further evaluation can be carried out with less effort. In the simplest case, only every i-th measured value is retained, preferably followed by smoothing or low-pass filtering. More complex interpolations with any time scaling factor are also conceivable. Furthermore, it is conceivable to use the reduced resolution as a basis for only some of the steps and to work with the full resolution for other steps. For example, the determination of the period duration and a correction of a mutual phase offset of sections of the period duration can take place at full resolution, but the parameters are then determined after a reduction in resolution.
  • the control and evaluation unit is preferably designed for a teach-in mode in which a time series of measured values is recorded and evaluated, a period duration is determined therefrom, at least one parameter is determined for at least a section of the time series of the period duration and the parameter is stored as a reference parameter.
  • the reference parameters are obtained in the teach-in mode, and this should therefore be done in a phase in which it is ensured that there are no anomalies. Anomalies that already exist in teach-in mode will not be recognized later but will be viewed as correct.
  • the procedure with which the reference parameters are determined is in principle the same as that for determining parameters during actual operation as described above. There is no need for comparison because the situation should be recorded as it is during learning. Thanks to the teach-in mode, flexible and easy-to-use adaptation to new systems and processes is possible.
  • a respective parameter is preferably determined several times over different sections in order to determine a statistical measure as a reference parameter and/or a fluctuation measure as a tolerance to the stored reference parameter.
  • the appropriate tolerance can also be learned using such statistical teaching, taking several periods into account.
  • a suitable statistical measure for example, is an average, a center of gravity, a median or another quantile.
  • the statistical measure can refer to intermediate results that have already been obtained, such as the bins of a histogram. This sets an expectation.
  • the fluctuation measure for example the variance, standard deviation, a higher moment or combinations or multiples thereof, determines the associated tolerance for this expectation. There is no need to set fixed threshold values, as is sometimes the case in the prior art.
  • a histogram of the flow velocities over the period is preferably formed, with the reference parameter being determined from a number in a bin of the histogram and/or the associated tolerance from a fluctuation measure of the number in a bin. Determining parameters and reference parameters using histograms is particularly simple and at the same time leads to very reliable anomaly detection. An expectation is set for individual bins, several bins or all bins and checked against it during operation. The expectation corresponds to the statistical measure, such as an average, the number in the respective bin, over the evaluation of several periods, while the tolerance is given by the fluctuation measure, for example a multiple of the standard deviation of the numbers determined in the bin over the different periods.
  • the control and evaluation unit is preferably designed to temporarily switch to the teach-in mode when the period duration changes.
  • the sensor device automatically recognizes a new period length and thus a different processing or process cycle when the observed process changes. This is then not seen as an anomaly, but rather as an intentional change, and the reference variables are learned in a new and appropriate way. Using the new reference variables, the sensor device can then monitor the changed process for anomalies. However, the new period length should be stable, otherwise it is preferably viewed as an anomaly.
  • the independent changeover can be combined with a warning and, if necessary, a confirmation can be requested that a desired change has actually taken place.
  • the control and evaluation unit is preferably designed to switch between several sets with at least one reference variable.
  • the sensor device is thus prepared for various processes in the system.
  • a suitable set with at least one reference variable preferably including an associated tolerance, anomalies are detected in the active process.
  • the control and evaluation unit is preferably integrated into the sensor.
  • the sensor device is then the sensor, or rather it is an intelligent sensor with integrated anomaly detection. No further technical infrastructure is then required to check the system for anomalies.
  • the control and evaluation unit can be implemented across several sensors, or there is at least one intelligent sensor with its own evaluation and at least one other connected sensor that only supplies measured values, and any mixed forms.
  • Figure 1 shows a schematic overview of a fluid technology system 10.
  • a fluid technology system 10 In the example shown, it is designed as a compressed air system, but the invention also includes other fluid technology systems, in particular hydraulic systems in addition to pneumatic systems.
  • a compressed air storage 12 supplies various consumers with compressed air via lines 14; several working cylinders 16 are shown purely as an example.
  • a sensor 18 is arranged on the line 14 and measures the flow rate of the compressed air. This measurement is usually used for the system control (not shown) for general monitoring and control tasks of the system 10. According to the invention, the measurement data from the sensor 18 is used for anomaly monitoring, whereby this can be both the main and secondary purpose for attaching the sensor 18. In practice, the system can be much more branched and complex, and several sensors can be arranged at different points on the line 14 for anomaly monitoring.
  • the sensor 18 can implement any measuring principle for flow measurement, in particular a Coriolis sensor, a magnetic-inductive flow sensor for a fluid other than air with a minimum conductivity, an ultrasonic flow sensor or a vortex sensor.
  • the flow rate does not have to be measured directly, as long as the flow rate or an equivalent measurement variable such as the mass flow can be derived from the measurement, for example during a pressure difference measurement.
  • the sensor 18 is preferably installed as close as possible to the consumers or working cylinders 16, because then the effectively monitored volume remains small, so that changes caused by anomalies are detected with high sensitivity.
  • a control and evaluation unit 20 is provided, in which the measurement data from the sensor 18 are evaluated in order to detect whether the system 10 is working as expected or whether there is an anomaly .
  • the sensor 18 can indicate this or transmit a corresponding message to a higher-level control of the system 10, not shown.
  • An anomaly is primarily a leak, but other anomalies such as a clogged filter or a kinked pipe 14 are also possible. The method for detecting an anomaly will now be explained with reference to the other figures.
  • Figure 2 shows an exemplary flowchart for teaching a reference or expectation to the system 10 without anomalies. This expectation can then be compared in operation, as will be done later with reference to Figure 7 described in order to conclude an anomaly from significant deviations.
  • the system 10 is free of anomalies, or anomalies that are already present at this point in time cannot be discovered later.
  • the procedure according to the invention is based on the assumption that the processes in the system 10 run periodically and are therefore repeated after a certain period. This periodicity is then reflected in the measured values of the sensor 18. This assumption is regularly fulfilled in practice. For example, in the manufacture of a specific component, compressed air is used to handle the workpiece and change tools, with the cycle starting again with each additional component.
  • a time series of measured values from the sensor 18 for the respective flow rate is collected in a buffer.
  • This time series forms the input signal for the anomaly-free case to be taught, and in Figure 3 an example is shown.
  • the phase in which measured values are collected is chosen to be sufficiently long so that the time series covers several cycles or periods of the process of the system 10 to be monitored.
  • the period duration is determined from the time series.
  • Methods for determining the period length of a time series are known per se and are based, for example, on autocorrelation or Fourier transformation. In order to reduce the complexity of the problem, the triggering of the time series can be reduced beforehand ("downsampling").
  • the time series is divided into sections or periods of the period duration.
  • Figure 4 shows three of these periods in the time series, which, to the naked eye, comprises a total of eight periods Figure 3 individually on top of each other. The similarity across the periods is clearly visible and makes it seem plausible that significant deviations due to anomalies will be detectable.
  • a single one of the periods is determined according to Figure 4 statistically evaluated.
  • a histogram of the frequency of occurrence of the respective flow velocities or mass flows is formed, as exemplified in Figure 5 for one of the periods according to Figure 4 shown.
  • the possible flow velocities or mass flows are divided into intervals or bins, preferably into uniform bins, and plotted on the X-axis, with the number of times a suitable measured value was measured being counted on the Y-axis for each bin.
  • Such a histogram is preferably generated repeatedly for at least some or preferably all periods of the time series.
  • a histogram is a particularly suitable statistical tool, but other parameters are also conceivable with which the course of the measured values in a section can be determined Figure 4 can be described.
  • a step S5 statistical measures are calculated from the counts in the corresponding bins of the histograms for different periods, in particular an average and a standard deviation of the respective number. This results in an expectation of the distribution of flow velocities or mass flows, including a tolerance.
  • the tolerance range can be defined by a corridor around the mean at a distance of several, for example three, standard deviations up and down.
  • Figure6 shows the resulting reference variables by small black lines at the mean value of the bins as well as the associated tolerance range with a gray background.
  • Figure 7 shows an exemplary flow chart with which anomalies in the system 10 can be determined by comparing a time series of measured values recorded during operation with the learned reference variables and associated tolerances.
  • the processes according to Figure 2 and 7 are similar because the respective time series of measured values from operation are prepared in a similar way to when teaching in in order to obtain parameters that can be compared with the reference parameters. But it works according to the process Figure 2 about the teaching of reference parameters assuming that the system 10 is free of anomalies, whereby the reference parameters are not evaluated but are stored as expectations. Now follow the procedure Figure 7 Parameters are obtained when the state of the system 10 is unknown and compared with the reference parameters.
  • a time series of measured values from the sensor 18 for the respective flow rate is collected in a buffer.
  • This time series forms the input signal, and in Figure 8 an example is shown.
  • the phase in which measured values for the time series are collected is chosen to be sufficiently long to encompass at least one period, preferably several periods, of the process of the system 10 to be monitored.
  • step S7 the period duration is determined from the time series.
  • the procedure is as follows in step S2 Figure 2 referred to, in particular the identical procedure can be used.
  • the period duration is also known from the teach-in, so step S7 is optional.
  • it can make sense to actually relate the period length to the current time series in order to absorb fluctuations, or as a plausibility check, because a greater deviation between the period length determined during training and the period in operation indicates an anomaly or at least one Violation of the assumption of a stable periodic process in the system 10. If a different period duration is repeatedly determined in step S7 and is stable than during the teaching in step S2, this may also be because the process in the system 10 was changed without teaching in reference parameters again.
  • step S8 analogous to step S3, the time series is divided into sections or periods of the period duration.
  • Figure 9 shows three of these periods of the time series according to Figure 8 individually one above the other. With the naked eye is by comparison with Figure 4 already suspect that there is an anomaly.
  • a single period is determined analogously to step S4 Figure 9 statistically evaluated.
  • a histogram of the frequency of occurrence of the respective flow velocities or mass flows is formed, as exemplified in Figure 10 for one of the periods according to Figure 9 shown.
  • the histogram can be formed from one or more periods.
  • normalization is preferably carried out in order to be able to compare the parameters obtained from the histogram, in particular the numbers in the bins, with the reference variables.
  • the anomaly detection process is somewhat slower when using multiple periods, with all the associated advantages and disadvantages.
  • a histogram is a particularly suitable statistical tool, but other parameters are also conceivable with which the course of the measured values in a section can be determined Figure 9 can be described.
  • a step S10 the parameters obtained in step S9 are compared with the reference variables. Differences within the associated tolerances are still accepted; a greater change is considered an anomaly.
  • Figure 11 is the result of a comparison of the histogram according to Figure 10 from a period of current measurements in line with expectations Figure 6 shown. The height of the bars shown corresponds to the measured parameters according to Figure 10, but the bars have different gray values depending on the comparison result. For the gray penultimate bar, the comparison was within tolerance. The light bars, on the other hand, showed a downward difference, the black bars an upward difference, each outside the tolerance.
  • the mean distribution of the measured values within the period or periods under consideration is therefore changed so much in this example that an anomaly is assumed; otherwise all bars, like the penultimate gray bar, would have had to show a position within tolerance.
  • An additional summary tolerance would be conceivable that would allow a significant deviation for a bin or a certain percentage of the bins without indicating an anomaly.
  • Figure 12 shows a comparative representation of a respective period Figure 4 in a system 10 without anomaly and according to Figure 9 in a system to be tested 10.
  • the described detection of anomalies is based on an evaluation using histograms.
  • the time series of a period or multiple periods can also be evaluated in other ways, such as box graphs, column charts, or quantile-quantile plots.
  • a median or another quantile can be used as a statistical measure instead of the mean, and fluctuations can also be represented by quantiles or higher moments instead of the standard deviation.
  • Another alternative is to choose an IIR filter with a low-pass characteristic and a suitable time constant for each bin of the histogram in order to approximately estimate the frequency of the measured values in the class. When a new measured value occurs, a new cycle of all IIR filters is carried out. The input value of the respective IIR filter is "0" if the measured value does not belong in its bin, and "1" otherwise.
  • the evaluation can be based on a representative period.
  • This representative period can be calculated by first eliminating the phase shift for all periods so that the individual periods are as congruent as possible to one another. The mean and standard deviation of the corresponding measured values can then be calculated for each point in time within a period. Based on the standard deviation, a tolerance can then be specified for each point in time.
  • Figure 13 illustrates a representative period within the original period measurements.
  • Figure 14 shows a separate representation of the representative period including the tolerance band defined by the standard deviation. The individual points form the reference parameters, and during operation a period is compared, which must lie within the tolerance band everywhere or to a defined extent. The period determined during operation can also be formed as a representative period from several periods.
  • Figure 15 again illustrates another alternative, which is based on determining the area between a taught period and a period recorded during operation to detect anomalies.
  • it is an area between representative periods.
  • the area corresponds to the integral about the amount of the difference.
  • the resulting area should remain small, for example measured as a proportion of the integral of one of the periods itself.
  • a respective teaching-in of reference parameters relates to a specific cyclical process in the system 10. Since industrial manufacturing processes change again and again, for example through format changes, changing the product or changing the products, it is important that the sensor 18 react through a simple teaching-in process can. Preferably, the sensor 18 is informed which product will be produced in the future, so that the learning process is triggered.
  • the sensor 18 can also build up a database of reference parameters for the various product variants and, in the case of an already known process, simply switch over instead of learning it again.
  • the sensor 18 can also temporarily put itself into teach-in mode and, after detecting reference variables, switch to detecting anomalies, or gradually build up a collection of reference variables.
  • the deciding factor as to whether another process takes place is the self-determined period durations. In this way, the sensor 18 can rely on previously determined reference variables if the period duration is already known or, otherwise, can automatically teach in the required reference variables.
